It would have been hilarious had every fan that caught a shirt then been handed a bill for said shirt.
Saw Merle Haggard the other night, and his t-shirts were $35!

i'm actually quite curious about whether the Portuguese have come around to Nickelback's musical charms and nowadays buy shit-tons of their records.

Yeah, it would be incredibly funny if it got to the stage where they became the biggest band ever in Portugal while they got shit thrown at them whenever they played anywhere in the rest of the world.

Nickelback quite frequently bring the riffs on their album cuts. It's their singles that tend to suck the hardest.
I think it's funny that Trump has driven people into such pits of despair that they're now telling themselves "Hey, that Nickelback song...I kinda dug that."
This is my Nickelback song of choice, for the record.

favourite nickelback story of mine:
ex of my wife worked at a record store, him and a pal from work got free tickets for a big nickelback show and went just for kicks, having no interest in the band in general
one of chad kroegers piece of banter between songs was to proclaim, as a sort of non-sequitur but maybe partly related to some song they were going to play:

There's a totally new a kind of Boomer. One who breaks retirement tradition. Increased life-expectancy has transformed "Yesterday's Yuppie" into today's ZOOMER ... boomers with zip! These new boomers are coloring outside the lines, zig-zaging and zoooooming toward a bright new horizon chock-full of possibilities for reinventing retirement and redefining what it means to be a mature adult in the new millennium.

One of my few regrets from my time at Roadrunner Records was not accepting a ticket to see Nickelback at Madison Square Garden. I don't like many of their songs, but they're supposed to be great live, in a big/loud/stupid AC/DC sort of way.

the meme of Nickleback being terrible has almost ruined Nickleback hate for me. like it almost delegitimizes how shitty they really are.
and yet when they cover "Sad But True", Chad sounds better than James H does now

Angels Try to End Losing Streak With Nickelback Songs, Get Shut Out
The Angels are in the middle of a franchise-record losing streak, so they are doing anything they can to change their fortune. First, they fired their manager, Joe Maddon, replacing him with Phil Nevin. But Los Angeles lost its first game after that change.
Next, the team tried a music change. On Wednesday night against Boston, every Angels hitter walked up to a different Nickelback song to try and alter the vibe.
It didn’t work.
